MY OPINION IS SEERS OF THE THRONE PROPAGANDA IGNORE MY GNOSIS-IMPAIRED RAMBLINGS
I am super pumped for Hawaiian Dwarves Online.



Seriously though. More games that aren't just glorified skinner boxes is a good thing.

LOL @ giving any money to devs of an MMO of this scale that are not doing their own custom engine. Have fun with another Star Citizen.

-They have 0 coders
-only artists and idea people
-everyone on board is underqualified by a huge amount
-a pyramid scheme referral system where you make LESS money if all your referrals recruit people
-The CEO used to run a MLM and has no background in video games

And they're promising to revolutionize the absolutely hardest to make type of video game of all time.

This is a group of people who saw Star Citizen and realized there is absolutely no accountability and they can get away with selling dreams and images of things for an elaborate fantasy for YEARS.

Because we went from Ultima, Everquest, Eve, Lineage, FFXI, DAoC, World of Warcraft type games to lovely kickstarter MMOs who are staffed completely by artists and PR and lacking any actual programming talent. Every single loving MMO made this decade has been a reskin of previous games with update graphics but worse everything else. Of course I'm here to poo poo on this, because they've been making GBS threads down our throats for years.

There is no one with any loving talent left in this industry and I really don't expect that to change. The entire MMO industry has devolved into a cesspool to the point where the only people looking to get into it are people that barely graduated with a CS degree but sure do LOVE MMOS and they have a lot of vague ideas about what they want in a game but lack the intellectual know how to code it themselves.

In short, PISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

I wasn't kidding when I said you have an instinctive preference for games that don't sell, it's a research topic that got some attention a few years back. It doesn't mean you're a bad person, the things you like in a product just tend to be things that ensure they'll never turn a good profit.

Lethality is another example except he actually is a huge rear end in a top hat to people that don't agree with him: if he likes a game that's basically the kiss of death even if it makes it to release.

SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA - May 10th, 2017

Intrepid Studios is excited to share this new video with backers and fans. With all the support on Kickstarter we want to share something fun with our community, so we are releasing this pre-alpha footage video called "The Art of War."

The video showcases our Ranger/Rogue hybrid class - The Predator. Our stealth driven hero is infiltrating a fully-grown metropolis to try and steal a relic. As he gets into the city and gets his hands on the prize he is then able to signal the impending invasion and the trebuchets' begin their work. This is but a hint of what the beginning stages of a siege and warfare in Ashes of Creation will be like.

You can watch the video HERE

Here is the embed code:

<iframe width="1280" height="720" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3UIqmWTGZ2k " frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

We hope you truly enjoy our team's hard work. The video was made with in-game assets and is not pre-rendered. If you have not joined us already, you can find the link to our Kickstarter HERE.

Thanks again to our fans and community for supporting the game. We are very happy to share this video and much more as we continue our journey together.

What is Ashes of Creation?

Set in a fallen fantasy world untouched by civilization for thousands of years our players will rebuild, repopulate, and rediscover this uncharted realm. Our world is ever changing with ruins, beasts, and cities that rise and fall. Weaved into a progressive character system where players hold all the power, the fates of creation are yours to command.

Please feel free to contact us with any questions or requests for interviews and information.
